Combat army system – as a means of increasing and improving the physical fitness of servicemen of the armed forces

The purpose of the study was to determine the dynamics of anthropometric and functional indicators of the physical condition of first-year cadets over three years (from 2019 to 2021). Materials and methods. 152 cadets from Ivan Kozhedub Air Force National University were involved in the experiment. The age of participants was from 17 to 22 years. All cadets were informed about the experiment and gave their consent. Anthropometric (measurement of anthropometric data) and medical-biological (rhythm inversion, electromanometry) methods of investigation were used to determine the assessment of the cadets’ physical condition. A highly informative method – the assessment of O. Pirogova index was used for analysis of the cadets’ physical condition. Pirogova physical condition index is a complex indicator based on the heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, age, body weight, and body height. Statistical analysis of the results was carried out using the EXCEL tables. The data was analyzed using Student’s test, p less than 0.05 was considered the level of significance. Results and discussion. The results of the study showed that the mean values of the anthropometric and functional indicators of the first-year cadets have not been changed statistically significant over three years. The exception is the difference in the average value of systolic blood pressure of control group 1 and control group 3 representatives, which is statistically reliable (p <0.05). Current anthropometric indicators of cadets obtained during the experiment confirmed the data available in the scientific and methodological literature about the anthropometric indicators of candidates for training in higher military educational institutions of Ukraine. The Pirogova physical condition index calculating showed the following average values of the Pirogova physical condition index: control group 1 – 0.704 points, control group 2 – 0.688 points, control group 3 – 0.671 points. However, the results of the study show a statistically significant deterioration of the Pirogova physical condition index of the 2021 recruitment cadets by 4.7% compared to the representatives of 2019. The comparative analysis of the first-year cadets' physical condition assessments demonstrates a gradual, significant decrease in the number of “high” physical condition ratings: 12% among control group 1 cadets (2019 year of recruitment); 9% among control group 2 representatives (2020 year of recruitment) and only 3% among control group 3 cadets (2021 year of recruitment). However, over three years, the percentage of representatives with physical condition assessment rating “Lower than average” has increased significantly: 1% among cadets of control group 1 (2019 year of recruitment); 7% among cadets of control group 2 (2020 year of recruitment); 7% among representatives of control group 3 (2021 year of recruitment). Conclusion. Over the last 3 years, there has been a deterioration of the general physical condition of higher military educational institution cadets

The purpose of the study was to experimentally check the effectiveness of the developed proposals for improving the physical training of artillery cadets with an emphasis on the development of strength and power endurance. Materials and methods. The main material was scientific articles, archival data, guiding documents on the organization, structure and content of physical training in the armed forces of Ukraine and NATO countries. To achieve the goal, a complex of general scientific research methods was used: theoretical analysis, generalization of practice experience, survey of cadets and specialists, pedagogical observation and experiment, medical and pedagogical testing, mathematical and statistical analysis of the obtained results. The time aspect of the appearance of information on a certain topic was also taken into account. Similarly, direct study of printed literary sources took place, in particular, information from journal articles about lists of used literature. In total, more than 80 sources of information were analyzed, after which a final review was conducted and 31 literature sources were singled out, the material of which was processed using general scientific methods. Results and discussion. A survey of 121 physical education specialists showed that the most important factors that determine the effectiveness of the physical training of artillery cadets are the use of physical exercises to develop strength and power endurance (29.1% of respondents) and the use of loads in the process of physical training that are adequate for the conditions of the officer's combat activity (15.9% of respondents). During the analysis of the conducted study, it was established that the main pedagogical conditions for improving the quality of physical training among artillery cadets are the rational distribution of training load in all forms of physical training, a gradual but constant increase in physical load with an emphasis on strength training and endurance. Conclusion. The analysis of the conducted survey of specialists determined the need to improve the methodology of conducting physical training with artillery cadets, paying attention to the main pedagogical conditions for its implementation. This is, first of all, the use in the process of physical training of cadets of a load adequate to the conditions of the combat activity of an artillery officer and modeling of physical training, in accordance with the features of the military and professional activity of artillerymen when performing combat tasks. A gradual increase in the intensity and volume of physical activity is important. In the course of the research, the developed program of physical training of artillery cadets of the experimental group showed high efficiency, which allowed to increase the level of their physical fitness by 21.2%, while in the control group such an increase was 8.8%. The implementation of the program had a positive effect on the functional state of the cadets’ bodies. The level of the studied indicators improved by an average of 18.2% in experimental group, and by 7.1% in control group

The purpose of the work was to study the structure and content of the Guidelines for Physical Training of the US Army. To solve the goal, the following tasks were formed: to analyze the main components of the guiding document, their tasks and directions of implementation; to determine the basic principles of organization and content of physical training in the ground forces of the US armed forces. Materials and methods. The main materials were scientific articles, archival data, guidelines on the organization, structure and content of physical training in the armed forces of NATO and the United States. To achieve this goal, a set of general scientific research methods was used. First of all, we used the story because it allows us to describe a wide range of issues. At the same time, the use of different sources of information helped to minimize subjective views and judgments, but they preferred literary and documentary sources, using a critical approach to their choice. The formation of a circle of literature sources was carried out after their search in the Scopus, SPORT Discus, Web of Science database. The temporal aspect of the appearance of information on certain topics was also taken into account. Similarly, there was a direct study of printed literature sources, including information from journal articles on lists of used literature. In total, more than 60 sources of information were analyzed, followed by a final review and 28 sources of literature, including 10 foreign authors, the material of which was processed using general scientific methods. With the help of the method – theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature, we obtained scientific information on the research topic. Results and discussion. The work determines that the Physical Training Manual consists of three main chapters, which reveal the methodology for organizing physical exercises with military personnel. We have isolated seven principles, according to which the content of physical training classes is formed at different stages of military service and its various conditions. The main direction of all principles is the interdependence of the physical readiness of military personnel and the effectiveness of the performance of combat training tasks. Conclusion. It has been proved that the opinion of the majority of domestic experts on the formation of the content of forms of physical training in the Armed Forces of Ukraine does not differ significantly from the provisions of the governing documents on the physical training of the US Armed Forces
